Tom Morello - Shut Em Down (Live) lyrics

[Hook x8] Shut 'em down Shut 'em down, shut 'em shut 'em down [Verse 1: B-Real] Walking down the crossroads, feeling kind of lost No, wait a minute, they forsaken Feeling like a lost soul, I don't need your sympathy I don't need your handout, never had it planned out Just to punch a man out, pause on the news cab Heard it on the news flash, what about a new tax What if we refuse that, we don't need your promises We don't need your bullsh**, we don't need you selling us the lies at the pulpit Setup was a meltdown, how's about you spell that Run it by the hell hounds, get up if you fell down I don't need your slick talk, I don't want your point of view I'm the f**ing thorn in the side that's annoying you [Hook x8 (Both)] Shut 'em down Shut 'em down, shut 'em shut 'em down [Verse 2: Chuck D & B-Real ] Who count the money in the neighbourhood But we spending money to no end, looking for a friend In a war to the core, ripping up the poor in the stores Until they get a brother kicking down doors Then I figure I can get bigger Look 'em dead in the eye and they wince, defence is pressurised They don't really want it to be another racial attack In disguise so give some money back I like Nike but (wait a minute) The neighbourhood supports, so (put some money in it) All corporations owe, they gotta give up the dough To my town or else we gotta (shut 'em down) [Hook x8 (Both)] Shut 'em down Shut 'em down, shut 'em shut 'em down [Guitar Solo] [Bridge (Both)] Uh! Shut em down, shut em down Shut em, shut em down Shut em down, Shut em down Shut em, shut em down Shut em down, Shut em down Shut em down! [Hook x8 (Both)] Shut 'em down Shut 'em down, shut 'em shut 'em down
